<p>DURHAM, N.C. — Duke senior Jordan Goldwire plans to leave the Blue Devils as a graduate transfer.</p>
<p>In a statement Saturday, the guard said he would enter his name into the transfer portal to take advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted to players due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Goldwire called his time with the Blue Devils “one of the best experiences of my life.”</p>
<p>Goldwire made his mark primarily through defense while earning a bigger role in his last two seasons. That included making the Atlantic Coast Conference’s all-defensive team as a senior, ranking second in the league with 2.3 steals and seventh in assists (4.0).</p>
<p>That came after he averaged just 7.5 minutes per game through his first two seasons.</p>
<p>“Jordan always embraced his role, and his improvement over the course of his career is a testament to his mentality and competitive spirit,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, freshman forward Jaemyn Brakefield announced his plans to transfer from the Blue Devils.</p>
